Initially a tad nervous as a first time trekker - now I’m hooked! Awe inspiring peaks, glaciers and stunning scenery in every direction every day, coupled with a real sense of achievement when you finish those ascents - What’s not to love! Emma our guide/leader instilled us with confidence and briefed us each night about the next day’s route giving lots of useful advice about things such as what to pack in our rucksack, how much water to take and the best way to tie our boots. Late afternoon it was back to the comfortable and cosy Chalet Chocolate, slickly run by hosts Zohi and Ben who made us all feel so at home. Delicious food and cakes to die for made for a very happy group and we had lots of fun and loads of laughs.
MONT BLANC TO THE MATTERHORN The walking and the scenery were breath taking. Every day yielded new views. It was a challenge to ascend each pass but the rewards were fantastic. The trip was challenging but within my capabilities.
The Mont Blanc 7 day trek was all that it was advertised as. Stunning views, excellent guide Elodie who ensured that the pace of the trek was suitable for all. The description of moderate to challenging was spot on, with some of the steeper sections falling into the latter category. Great mix of people in our group from different locations in the world, brilliant atmosphere. Accommodation was as described (twin room option worthwhile) and the food was varied enough through the week - picnics just right for lunch. You do walk the hours so being well prepared before you come on this trek ensured that we successfully managed the steeper sections. Great experience and very well organised.
